Ivanka Trump To Replace Jim Yong Kim At World Bank

A chilling op-ed in today’s NY Times by author Katherine Stewart, who has extensively studied and written about the Christian right, says that the far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that Donald Trump, conman and egomaniac, has been sent by God to be “a vessel for the purposes of the faithful” in the role of King of the United States of America.

Unbeknownst to people with even a tenuous grip on reality, prior to the midterms a thousand theaters showed “The Trump Prophecy,” a film about a firefighter who, in a blinding orgiastic epiphany, picks up a Bible and turns to Isaiah 45, “which describes the anointment of King Cyrus by God.” Get it, Isaiah “45” — Trump “45”? What more proof do you need, right?
Stewart goes on, saying that evangelical author and speaker Lance Wallnau has said:

I believe the 45th president is meant to be an Isaiah 45 Cyrus [who will] restore … us from cultural collapse.​

And in this telling it is not at all paradoxical that Trump is a non-believer intent on wrecking our democracy and government. Apparently the story of Cyrus is of a nonbeliever who becomes the first emperor of Babylon (“Babble-on” — it’s all starting to come together now, isn’t it?) and frees the Jews.
Stewart provides numerous quotations from across the spectrum of the religious right leadership pushing this meme that God sent Trump to be King, including Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council and Ralph Drollinger who leads weekly bible study groups at the White House attended by Mike Pence and members of the Cabinet.
In her article Stewart confirms our worst suspicions about what Trump’s core followers see in him:

This isn’t the religious right we thought we knew. The Christian nationalist movement today is authoritarian, paranoid and patriarchal at its core. They aren’t fighting a culture war. They’re making a direct attack on democracy itself.​

And, according to Stewart, Trump has been egging them on, goading their preachers for becoming too “soft” — as he openly muses about becoming “President for life”.

He seems to have learnt a lot from 'shit-hole' nations, there is a correlation between him and and the former Angolan dictator: he also seems to share's a (3rd world ) African leadership trait with eg Edwardo Dos Santos of Angola who fronted his daughter, Isabel Dos Santos, for such high profile positions for political and corruption leverage.

He was set into White House by Moscow to make it easy for Russia to tame CIA by manipulating his political naivety ....he is obsessed with building an American Wall obviously competing with his economic nemesis, The Great Wall of China....It's like having an African president in White House.

Come on man, they give billions of dollars to Egypt yearly why couldn't Obama do the same for Kenya under the excuse that we stabilize South Sudan, Somalia and maybe Congo. He just wasn't that into Kenya. Granted, he did allow for the direct flights to happen and also extended the visa durations for students. Maybe if he was a republican tungepata hizi dollars because those guys like funding wars.

Did you see malong yor bathing in money. Egypt led the six day war where they nearly brought israel to its knees. Egypt is as African as Obama is Kenyan. Egypt is responsible member and a leader of the arab league.

Please, Egypt isn't as mighty as it's touted to be. If East African countries decide, we could cripple it very fast, only that uncle sam will intervene. Most of the waters that form lake Victoria and hence the Nile come from Kenya. If push came to shove, Egypt would not dare provoke such a confrontation. If anything Ethiopia is already testing them.

Village Elder

This was debunked my friend. 70% of waters come from hundreds of small rivers that feed into blue and white niles in Ethiopia and few in uganda.

What are the two main rivers that flow into the River Nile? The River Nile is formed from the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria and theBlue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia. These rivers meet in Sudan and then go on their long journey northwards towards the sea.

And ethiopia is not testong them. They had to strike a deal where they agreed that would fill their new dam over a period of 10 years during the rainy season. If the rains fail, they cannpt top up the water that year. If Egypt so desired they could wage war on all of East africa

Thousands of rivers my friend. Who debunked it? Without lake Victoria there's no Nile, the waters that reach Khartoum would not make it past the sudd swamp in South Sudan. The powerful Murchison falls in Uganda fuels the journey to Egypt and those falls are fed by Victoria which is mostly fed by the mau highlands in Kenya and the rivers from Mt Elgon. The rest of the water comes from river kagera and rainfall. It's not the number of rivers that is important, rather it's the strength and flow of those rivers.

Egypt is a rich country by any standard. Kwaniunafikiria hawawezi import? Ona huyu. How many seconds do you you think it takes to send a sea lauched cruise missile to take out out a wall? Egypt was the first nation in Africa to own submarines. We do not even kbow how subs work in all nile nations let alone how to hunt them. Stop daydreaming. You have no cards against Egypt

There are millions of farmers who depend on the waters of the Nile (80 million to be exact), the poorest of them. Those will be the first to protest just like Sudan did with bread. Also Egypt is volatile military country and this could escalate to a civil war. Ati import, by the time they start doing it the country will be at war and broke, try another argument.

Egypt's military is the most stable and discciplined in africa. Sio kienywji kama za huku east Africa. Alafu hizo ndoto unaota za protest sijui zitatimika lini juu you cant block the watera of the nile. Egypt is not scared of bombing any peoject to bits if it affects their water access

Permanently blocking the waters can be done, just build a canal in Uganda to direct the waters elsewhere, that's if all the east African countries agree. The best they can do is send their jets which we can counter with ours as soon as they enter our airspace. They'll then prepare to send their infantry with tanks down south. And their navy through the red sea. By the time they reach here, the damage will be done. This is a hypothetical worst case scenario so don't get so cranky, chances are America will intervene before anything serious happens. Actually the most difficult thing to do is to convince other countries to do it and do it in a way that they can't know. Heck even an underground canal is possible with enough engineering know-how.

So Egypt will be lazing around waiting for you to kill 80 million people. Where didypu hear that Egypt is weak. Ypu do not seem to inderstand that in a week, Egypt can mobilize hundreds pf thousands of soldiers. If Kenya even wanted to they would take months to get just a thousand close enough to Egypt. You are living a funny fantasy. Plus they have satelites monitoring the nile. Something kenya only managed to try a while back na pesa ikakuliwa na corruption
